The KTM 990 Adventure takes on the BMW GS Adventure in this week's MCN. Does the KTM have what it takes to beat the BMW GS's blend of long-distance comfort and off-road fun? Find out in the April 8 issue of MCN.
MCN's Adam Child took the bikes to Pendine Sands on the south coast of Wales to test the off-road capabilities of the bikes. Watch the video for some lairy slides and seaside fun.

Pretty poor effort, guys
I know this is a teaser for buying the paper, but I'd still expect a LOT more effort than that. The video is a waste of time spent watching it, and completely uninspiring. It seems to have 10 seconds of skidding KTM, repeated over and over - Was this a one-bike video? I honestly believe my 10-year-old daughter good have put together a better teaser with less effort. - It's actually put me off buying the paper. Also, can someone mention to your techies that when someone turns the vid volume down using the slider, when it automatically replays (which is also a pain!), the volume resets to full again. - It's just woken my 6-year-old up again! Can someone sort it please?

I've seen more informative donkey ride tests! Maybe you guy's could get a job at 'What Donkey' magazine :)

KTM wins as it should
So why was no one sliding about on the BMW? I tested both bikes in Arizona and the KTM is the best ever. I'm an R1 freak but that 990 was fabulous. Except for the ass-killing saddle. BMW was to ponderous and heavy but gorgeous to look at and comfy. I did ride my R1 on Daytona Beach...pathetic. Not a bad video lads.
